Drop Two Sizes: A Proven Plan to Ditch the Scale, Get the Body You Want & Wear the Clothes You Love!

What I was looking for

OK I love fitness books. I just had to write in as there aren't too many reviews in yet. I know I would like this as I liked Rachel Cosgrove's last book. This one is more user friendly for sure. The organization is better, and the graphics and text are more appealing. It has day by day plans, including menus and recipes. There isn't much mention of modifications for vegetarians, but I am subbing beans, tofu, etc. for the meat portions. There are a few errors here and there, like the workouts having the wrong name on the calendar, but it is pretty easy to figure them out. I think some people might be disappointed in the workouts. There is less of an emphasis on "heavy lifting" and more emphasis on mobility. I am fine with that personally. Also, the workouts are fairly short (the first one took me 35-40 min, including warm-up), and there are 4 per week. Be prepared for a lengthy (10 min) warm-up routine. The other thing I like is that there is no repeat of an exercise. When it is done, it's done. I haven't checked the whole book, but it looks like most of the exercises can be done at home with a foam roller, hand weights, exercise bands, a wall, and bench or chair. I hope to post an update eventually. Update: 1/21/18 I did actually drop a size with this program when I completed it several years ago. I went frim a 6 to a 4 or maybe even a 2. My health and workout routine has really slipped in the last few years, I have started it again. I am already feeling A LOT better, and I am only 3 weeks in to the program. I double up the recipes for the evening and weekend so I can eat meals with my SO. It has been really nice! The meals are big, but very healthy. My biggest gripe about the book now is that it is falling apart. Lots of pages are loose, so I have to be careful when paging through the book. I have female body breakthrough, but I like this program better. It is easy to do at home, which is what I do. Read more
